"Nothing Much"

What are you doing? the age old question. Now how many answers are there to that question? im eating or im doing my hair, im playing xbox or watching a movie or something simple that im sure everyone has heard from someone "nothing much". Well for some people that not a good enough answer.. and for some its too much of an answer but what happens when what your doing may be hurting someone else like that people who lie and say there going to work late or go get something to eat when it turns out they are just telling you that so they can go hook up with the old crush from grade school, and then theres the people who say too much about what there doing which could also get you in trouble but when someone that you care about isnt near you either in the same house or same state then when you ask what are you doing and all they say is "nothing much" makes you wonder what are they really doing?
